A proposal to install portable traffic cameras along Plaquemines Parish's busiest thoroughfares is expected to be discussed when Sheriff Lonnie Greco begins a series of town hall meetings next week. All meetings begin at 7 p.m. and the first one is Monday (May 13) at the Buras Auditorium.

Others are slated for May 15 at the Davant Community Center and May 16 at the Belle Chasse Auditorium.

Greco has proposed installing the portable cameras along Louisiana 23 and in some neighborhoods to supplement what he has described as a thin contingent of patrol officers.

The issue, which generated controversy and opposition from Parish President Billy Nungesser, was set to be considered by the Parish Council in late April. Greco requested a deferral to discuss the issue and answer questions at next week's meetings.
